440 Six Pack to Go!

We take a fascinating detour into automotive history with the overlooked 1971 Plymouth GTX. This gorgeous Mopar muscle car arrived just as the muscle car era was winding down, resulting in limited production despite its stunning fastback styling and powerful 440 cubic inch V8 options. With only 326 examples produced with the desirable 440+6 and four-speed manual transmission, values have skyrocketed to $150,000+ for well-restored examples. 🔔 Ready to get into the world of cars?

Hemi Heaven: Exploring Rare Muscle Cars at the Fabuloso Hideout

The rumble of Hemi engines echoes through the cavernous space of the Fabuloso Hemi Hideout in Brookshire, Texas as we explore one of America's most impressive Mopar collections. John Hovis began his automotive journey at 18 years old in 1970, explaining his special affinity for vehicles from that iconic year - and what a collection he's assembled! From the moment we step inside, we're surrounded by automotive royalty. The banana yellow 1970 Dodge Superbee with its 440 six-pack engine represents just one of 599 ever built with matching numbers. But that's just the beginning. The 1970 Plymouth Superbird, with its distinctive aerodynamic nose and towering rear spoiler, tells the story of how Mopar changed NASCAR forever before the design was ultimately banned for being too dominant on the track. The crown jewel might be John's personal favorite: a sublime pearl green 1971 Plymouth Cuda boasting a monstrous 528 cubic inch all-aluminum Hemi V8 generating 739 horsepower. With its pistol g…

Behind the Neon: Inside John Hovis's Legendary Car Collection

Broadcasting from John Hovis's legendary Hemi Hideout in Brookshire, Texas, we invite listeners into a wonderland of automotive memorabilia, rare Mopar muscle, and glowing neon signs. This special venue has transformed dramatically since opening a decade ago, now serving as both museum and gathering place for car enthusiasts. Today's open house welcomes visitors with breakfast tacos, camaraderie, and the opportunity to support local charities through matched donations. Our automotive journey begins with a fascinating look at the 1971 Plymouth GTX – perhaps the most criminally overlooked muscle car of the Mopar golden era. This sleek fastback with coke-bottle curves arrived just as muscle car mania began cooling, resulting in just 2,900 sales despite its impressive 440 cubic inch V8 engine options. The rarest configuration – just 326 examples with the 440 Plus 6 and four-speed manual – now commands upwards of $166,000 at auction, demonstrating how collectors have finally recognized th…

Auto Tariffs Tsunami: How 25% Tariffs Will Change American Car Markets

Something massive is about to shift in the American automotive marketplace. Starting next Wednesday, 25% tariffs will hit vehicles and parts imported from Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, and essentially any foreign country—and these will stack on top of existing tariffs. Our conversation with Aiden Bergsman from the Anderson Economic Group reveals just how complex this situation is becoming. Modern vehicles aren't simply built in one country—components cross borders repeatedly during manufacturing. That engine in your Chevy might have started in Canada, crossed to Detroit, had Mexican parts added, then crossed back to Canada before returning as a finished vehicle. Each crossing potentially triggers tariffs, and Bergsman's analysis suggests these could raise vehicle prices by $3,000-$10,000, with EVs potentially seeing even steeper increases. Manufacturers face impossible choices: absorb unsustainable costs, pass them to already-stretched consumers, frantically relocate production to …

The EVolution of the Chevy Equinox: Drive Electric or Gas?

A silver Chevy Equinox EV glides silently through city streets—presenting a study in contrasts to the raw power of NASCAR's most intimidating drivers featured in today's jam-packed automotive roundup. Ford's quality control takes center stage as we dissect an alarming series of recalls affecting models across their lineup. From steering column shifters that may detach to unexpected vehicle movements and rearview cameras displaying incorrectly, these aren't just assembly issues—they're fundamental product design problems requiring immediate attention.
